Police: Man showed privates at doctor's office

Police say a Gaston County man with a history of indecent exposure showed himself again, this time at a local chiropractor's office.

Grady Odell Harper, 53, walked into Southeast Chiropractic at 71 McAdenville Road in Belmont on Wednesday, stepped into a doorway and revealed his private parts to a woman inside, according to an arrest warrant. Harper was allegedly carrying a 40-ounce Cobra King beer bottle, which he reportedly threw down into the office's parking lot before his arrest.

This isn't the first time police have accused Harper of showing his body to unwilling recipients or having alcohol present or in his system at the time of his arrest.

The man was charged in September 2016 with indecent exposure after showing his private parts to employees and customers at the Belmont Kangaroo Express on Wilkinson Boulevard, a crime for which he spent nearly 30 days at the Gaston County Jail. He has two arrests since July 2016 for being intoxicated and disruptive, and his conviction record includes impaired driving, escaping prison, larceny and breaking and entering.

He was charged with misdemeanor counts of littering and indecent exposure for Wednesday's incident and was booked into jail under $1,000 bond.
